guish the fire Immediately. The

Hill, president ofths Manitoba road,
has also written to Mr.. Stone express
ing his confidence in the utility OF the

The following extract from the tax
laws may be of interest to our readers:
"All taxes are due on the first Mon
day of January in each year. Personal
property tax becomes delinquent
March first, when q penalty of ten
per cent is added. Personal property
taxes unpaid April first are collected
by the sheriff. June first q penalty
of ten per cent is added to all unpaid
real estate tax, and said tax will be-
come delinquent on the first Monday
of January following, when an ad-
ditional penalty of Ave per cent is ad-
ded. Tax sale takes place on the
first Moaday Of May following.
No, Mr.. Sun, we did not threaten
the law. We simply assured you that
you have no need of fear in that
direction. The law can reach only
wrong doors who are financially or
mentally responsible, so you are safe.
The only punishment which you are
bringing upon yourself is the loss OF
the respect with which few people,
who did not know you. have hereto
fore considered you, and the alien
alton Of the meagre support by which
you have so far existed. You are
simply fastening the time of your
own interment, by gosding an out
ragged pulic sentiment to point
where 10 will tolerate you no longer.
Unless appearances are deceptive,
the disintegrstion of your putrid re-
mains has already begun.
If country newspapers proprietors
were to publish the names Of subscrib-
ers who take, read, enjoy, and are
grstifled by, yet refuse to pay for
their home papers, and especially
those who borrow the local papers,
the reputation of most communities
for moral honesty would depreciate
twenty per cent. An editors labors
are seldom appreciated or compensa-
ted. A lawyer will give you five
minutes advice on one topic and
charge you five dollars for it. An
editor will give you advice on a hum
dred topics and charge you five cents
for it, copy OF his paper. And very
often five cents given to an editor
would save five dollars given to q
lawyer. In fact no other business
men are so universally robbed and
swindled out of their labor and
capitol az country newspaper publish.
ers.-New York Sun.
The Importance of homo enterprise
and trade should be sustained. Every
dollar expended in home industry is
10 much saved. The more people We
can get to come to Mortified to trade,
the better it will be for the town.
and the more we encourage the home
merchant, the more will aid in build
ing up the town. A dollar employed
in engaging help from abroad ID that
much lost to our community; and q
dollar expended abroad for goods that
can be bought here il lost to the pros
psrity of the town. In small cities
there should be strong bond Of uLion,
such a. would greatly enhance BUSH
ness and tend to leave all the avail
able funds as near home as possible.
This is what makes business lively
and increases the value of property,
therefore protect home enterprise
when you can.-Northfield News.
The following from the Lake City
Sentinel is good and we recommend
It to our readers and hope they will
send us the news: Items of news or
gossip that may not seem Of interest
to you because of their familiarity are
valuable to us to send to others and
items from others we will send to you

marriages, Opponents, removals,
sales of property, ETC., will be well
come. If any newcomer arrives, let

cidents; meetings, political, religious
social or secular; condition OF crops
